Two-time USAC open-wheel champion Tracy Hines will attempt to boost his victory total at one of his favorite race tracks this summer when he drives a Toyota Tundra in a reunion with ThorSport Racing at Eldora Speedways inaugural NASCAR Camping World Truck Series dirt-track race. When NASCAR scheduled its first national series dirt race since 1970, it anticipated an all-star cast of dirt-track specialists entering. Hines, 40, of New Castle, Ind., brings much more than a notable dirt pedigree to his ThorSport entry in the July 24 mid-week NCWTS round at the half-mile speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. Hine has 52 career Truck Series starts “ 48 of them for ThorSport in 2004-2005 “ but hes been an ace on dirt, where hes won 85 main events across USACs three primary divisions, putting him fourth on USACs all-time wins list. Those victories include Hines 12th career Eldora win, in a USAC sprint car in September 2012. Hines next Eldora start will come in a USAC sprint car on April 20 “ an event he won a year ago.(Thorsport PR)
